Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026

The 64th edition of Salone del Mobile.Milano concluded with remarkable success, reaffirming its position as the leading global event in the field of design. In a year marked by international uncertainty, the exhibition welcomed 316,342 visitors from 167 countries, representing a significant increase compared to the corresponding figures of 2025. At the same time, 1,900 companies from 32 countries participated, showcasing the image of a flexible and competitive industrial ecosystem.

The established parallel exhibitions, such as the International Bathroom Exhibition, EuroCucina and FTK–Technology For the Kitchen, highlighted the continuing importance of living spaces where industrial production, technological innovation and evolving lifestyles intersect.

Beyond product presentation, this year’s edition strengthened its cultural and strategic character. Salone Raritas hosted 28 exhibitors from 12 countries, integrating the collectible and experimental dimension of design into a broader dialogue around uniqueness and research. The masterplan for Salone Contract 2027, designed by Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten / OMA, redefined the field of contract design as a complex global system, shifting the focus from the object itself to infrastructures and markets.

Finally, the sold-out event La Notte Bianca del Progetto, promoted by the Salone del Mobile.Milano Observatory, brought together 19 institutions, including major public and private archives, with more than 50 guided tours and talks, presenting over 150 historic architecture and design collections that form part of the city’s cultural heritage.

ek magazine was an official media partner of this year’s Salone del Mobile.

The 65th edition of the exhibition will take place from 13–18 April 2027.
